Illegal Silicone Injections vs. FDA-Approved Silicone Implants

In this episode of Plastic Surgery 90210, Dr. J. Timothy Katzen and Ariel 90210 break down the critical differences between illegal silicone injections (also known as “butt shots” or “permanent filler”) and FDA-approved silicone implants used in plastic surgery. Learn why free silicone injections are extremely dangerous, how they can migrate through the body, and the life-threatening complications they cause—from silicone embolism to kidney failure.

Dr. Katzen shares real patient stories, including tragic cases of underground injections gone wrong, the formation of scar tissue (bobas), and why liquid silicone cannot be safely removed. The discussion also covers safer alternatives for buttock enhancement, including BBLs, butt implants, Sculptra, and FDA-approved fillers.

📍 Filmed in Beverly Hills, this video is a must-watch for anyone considering body contouring or injectable treatments. Dr. Katzen also offers virtual consultations for those outside of California.
